What Are the Differences Between the Bandwidth of a VPN Connection and that of a Direct Connect Connection?

Concepts

  • The bandwidth of a Direct Connect connection is the bandwidth of the connection created by a user.
  • The bandwidth of a VPN connection applies to the outbound direction of the cloud.

Bandwidth Size

  • The default maximum bandwidth of a Direct Connect connection is 1,000 Mbit/s. When you create a connection on the management console and set Port Type to 10GE single-mode optical port, the maximum bandwidth is 10 Gbit/s.
  • The maximum bandwidth of a VPN connection is 300 Mbit/s.

Network Quality

  • A Direct Connect user has a dedicated connection with high network quality.
  • VPN connections shared the bandwidth of their VPN gateway. The total bandwidth of VPN connections cannot exceed the bandwidth of their gateway. The network quality will be affected by the Internet quality.
